Sport shoe outsole with anti-slip and anti-abrasion

ABSTRACT

The Present invention is directed to an anti-slip, wear-resistant sports shoe sole principally composed of a sole pad and a bottom cushion layer bonded to the bottom of said sole pad. The bottom cushion layer is composed of two parts, namely a soft under-cushion running inward from the front of the sole, and a hard under-cushion positioned at the heel and front of foot areas. The triangular area in the specially inclined underside design of the sports shoe sole, made of a low-density (soft) rubber material, includes a number of point-shaped protrusions clustered together to facilitate turns and twisting motions, while helping to prevent slipping, aid precision and increase comfort. Other than the triangular area, the whole of the underside of the heel and front of foot areas are made using a solid (hard) rubber material which is effective in terms of its anti-slip, wear-resistant properties.

TECHNICAL AREA

This utility model involves a type of sports shoe, specifically a typeof anti-slip, wear-resistant sports shoe sole.

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

Zumba is a type of aerobic exercise which combines rhythm with hot andsexy Latin dance; its rhythm is achieved through dynamic forms ofexercise. Zumba involves “training”, and this musically-inspired“training” is carried out on the basis of conveying inner happiness fromthe heart. Zumba incorporates hot South American and spicy Latin dancesystems including Salsa, Merenue, Cumbia, Samba and Reggaeton; it iseasy to learn and reduces the difficulty of study.

Zumba combines Latin and international music and dance into an active,exciting and effective fitness system. It is characterised by toning thebody through a combination of aerobic/interval training and slow music.Zumba uses interval training and resistance exercise theories to achievethe maximum expenditure of calories, burn fat and evenly develop theentire body. It combines body-toning effects and simple dance moves.

Most shoes currently worn to practise Zumba are ordinary light sportsshoes. However, such practice frequently involves turns and twistingmotions that can be rendered imprecise without appropriate footwear. Asyet, there are no sports shoes available that are designed specificallyto aid the practice of this kind of dance.

INVENTION CONTENT

The objective of this utility model is to provide a type of anti-slip,wear-resistant sports shoe sole with a novel structure; thecharacteristics of the materials and structure of the triangular area inthis special inclined design differ from the rest of the underside,making it suitable for the turns and twisting motions involved inpractising Zumba, due to its great precision and lightness.

The objective and technical solution in this utility model is achievedusing the following technical solution. Based on the type of anti-slip,wear-resistant sports shoe sole proposed in this utility model, theaforementioned sports shoe sole is principally composed of a sole padand a bottom cushion layer bonded to the bottom of the aforementionedsole pad; the bottom cushion layer is composed of two parts, namely asoft under-cushion running inward from the front of the sole, and a hardunder-cushion positioned at the heel and front of foot areas.

The aforementioned soft under-cushion uses a low-density rubbermaterial; its upper design features concentrations of granularprotrusions.

The aforementioned soft under-cushion takes the form of a triangulararea.

The aforementioned hard under-cushion uses a solid rubber material; itsupper design features multiple protrusions and inset areas with ananti-slip effect.

The surrounding edges of the aforementioned sole pad can be bonded tothe upper of the sports shoe, and soft EVA material is used for its fulllength.

Due to the technical solution above, the anti-slip, wear-resistantsports shoe sole in this utility model has the following advantages:

The triangular area in the special inclined (towards in the inward area)underside design of the anti-slip, wear-resistant sports shoe sole inthis utility model uses a low-density (soft) rubber material; the designof the triangular area includes a number of point-shaped protrusionsclustered together to facilitate turns and twisting motions whenpractising Zumba dancing, while helping to prevent slipping, aidprecision and increase comfort. Other than the triangular area, thewhole of the underside of the heel and front of foot areas are madeusing a solid (hard) rubber material which is effective in terms of itsanti-slip, wear-resistant properties.

SPECIFIC EMBODIMENT

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. The sports shoe sole in this utilitymodel involves a soft, light and comfortable construction; its structureis chiefly composed of a sole pad (10) made of a soft EVA material and abottom cushion layer bonded to the bottom of the aforementioned sole pad(10). The bottom cushion layer is composed of two parts, namely a softunder-cushion (20) running inward from the front of the sole in the formof a triangular area, and a hard under-cushion (30) positioned at theheel and front of foot areas.

The surrounding edges of the aforementioned sole pad (10) can be bondedto the upper of the sports shoe, and an EVA material is used for itsfull length for superior comfort. A low-density rubber material is usedfor the soft under-cushion (20), upon which there are concentrations ofgranular protrusions; these concentrations of granular protrusions serveto reduce the amount of contact between the sole and the ground (in asimilar way to spikes) when practising Zumba dance, allowing the easyperformance of twisting dance moves and making twist and turn motionseasier. A solid rubber material is used for the hard under-cushion (30),upon which are multiple protrusions and inset areas with an anti-slipeffect. And [these] are situated respectively on both parts of thesurface of the sole of the shoe; for example, when dancing Zumbaexercises; they are most suitable for turning motions, and haveeffective anti-slip and wear-resistant properties.

The above is solely a relatively optimal implementation of this utilitymodel, and by no means constitutes any limitations on the form that theutility model may take. Consequently, any simple modifications,equivalent changes or revisions to the specific embodiment above thatare based on the substantive technology in this utility model withoutabandoning the content of the technical solution in this utility model,shall fall within the scope of the technical solution in this utilitymodel.
